Some improvements in Nil Rider before the Steam release of RogueViz [1]! Previously the game simply ended when you rode off the surface. Now, you can ride off to reach the layer below -- and because of how straight lines work in this geometry, you can drop directly below!
As explained in our video [2] without gravity objects follow helices, with radius smaller when the slope is closer to vertical. With gravity, the slope changes in time, so the projection of a freely falling unicycle is quite a funny curve (pink).
